What Innovation Did for the Drawstring…

Ah, the humble drawstring. Probably the first ever iteration of storage known to man, starting from the simple coin-purse, to becoming what it is today, a fully evolved product that’s miles ahead of what it started out to be. The drawstring today is versatile. It can be used for work, play, and even on holiday trips. It’s spacious yet compact. Made out of soft fabric, it can expand to fit pretty much anything, and then when emptied, can roll up or fold down to occupy a fraction of its space. More importantly, it’s slash-proof, water-repellent, comes with hidden components for personal belongings, a charging port for your electronics, and can literally be secured to anything with a padlock. This is the drawstring bag of the future. And it’s called the Roam ByBLVD.

The Roam isn’t a drawstring to be underestimated. Designed to be as capable as backpacks (if not more), drawstrings are known for their convenience, but not as much for their security. However, the Roam comes with a fabric containing a UHMWPE (polyethylene) blend that’s virtually slash proof, and impervious to blades, knives, etc. Aside from guarding the contents on the inside, the Roam could even be used to protect oneself. The Roam can even be securely padlocked to poles, bikes, tables, etc., for extra security.

On the inside, the Roam is compartmentalized to work as any type of bag you want. It contains a water-proof wet-pocket for bottles, umbrellas, etc (and comes with a hydration pouch that you can directly drink from). The Roam even has a dedicated RFID blocking pouch for your cards, etc. Other personal belongings can slide right into the Roam’s shoulder-pads that double up as storage for items like cash, or keys… basically anything you need to access instantly, but also want to keep hidden. To top things off, Roam even comes with a charging port that can connect your phone (on the outside) to a power-bank inside the bag.

The bag can be worn/carried traditionally, thanks to the UHMWPE braided ropes, and to make things more secure, the Roam even comes with sternum straps that buckle around your chest, making the bag hug your body. The straps come with an emergency whistle, and a metal clasp for your EDC. The bag even comes with its own brass combination lock to help secure all your belongings. The Roam is designed to hold up to 14 liters worth of your belongings, and when empty, can flatten out and roll up to occupy as much space as a bottle of water.

Designed to be as convenient as any drawstring bag, but far more secure, comfortable, adaptable, and accommodating, the Roam a drawstring that pays tribute to the drawstring of the past, with a design for every sort of present, backed by innovation clearly from the future!
